"Had each group—governing board, administrators, faculty members, and other concerned people—worked together, respected each other’s competencies, and at the same time, not lost sight of the college’s mission, Antioch University might have developed a sound renewal plan for the college’s future. While respect for the principles of shared governance may not have been sufficient to ensure the life of Antioch College, without an active system of shared governance, the college had little chance of surviving as a healthy Antioch University institution."
